Hello,
It has been just over three weeks since I think the baby birds hatched in the nesting box. The parents have been diligently feeding them and I have seen them coming and going constantly.
2 days ago was the last time I heard or saw anything. From the box or the parents. Should I be concerned, or will they have all just left?
I am very hesitant to actually look in the box as I am really sensitive and would be be really upset to find dead babies I have been hearing for the last three weeks :/
Hi, sounds very much as if Blue Tit youngsters have fledged, some facts here ...

Thank you
So they have probably all just gone?
I got used to the noise from them
Hopefully some or all did successfully leave the nest, keep an eye out for them in your garden but won't be long before they disperse! They only have one brood per year so will not be any more activity in your nest box til maybe late Autumn & over Winter when one may use it for a roost ... it is advised to empty and clean the box in September!
Fantastic news! I just checked the box… completely empty (except the nest)
they must have all gone to live their lives ️
Brilliant news
